Client install does not update services file

Von: Quinn Wildman

Inhaltsangabe: The services file must be manually editied

When performing a client only install of InterBase 7.5, the services file is not updated. The location of the services file may be determined as follows:
Unix /etc/SERVICES
Windows WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\SERVICES
or
WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\SERVICES
or
WINDOWS (Windows 98)

This will lead to the following errors when attempting to connect to a server:

Unable to complete network request to host "servername".
Failed to locate host machine.
Undefined service gds_db/tcp

To correct the problem you must edit services file. If the InterBase server you are connecting to is a version older than InterBase 7.5, or the InterBase 7.5 server you are connecting to is not using multiinstancing, add the following:

gds_db 3050/tcp

If the InterBase server you are connecting is an InterBase 7.5 server using multiinstancing, replace gds_db and 3050 with the label name and port number of the server you are connecing to. Contact the system administrator of the database server to determine these values.

For additional information on the error "Undefined service gds_db/tcp see also Undefined service gds_db/tcp
